4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Muchas gracias por tu respuesta, Peter. Veo que la explicación de la Wikipedia de "permanent way" y de "vía férrea" coinciden, por lo que utilizaré esta opción. También he visto que se usa la expresión de Marta de "vía permanente". Siento no poderos dar los puntos a los dos (y a Hanrath, que proponía lo mismo pocos minutos después)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_way
The permanent way is the elements of railway lines: generally the pairs of rails typically laid on ties ("sleepers" in British parlance) embedded in ballast, intended to carry the ordinary trains of a railway. It is described as permanent way because in the earlier days of railway construction, contractors often laid a temporary track to transport spoil and materials about the site; when this work was substantially completed, the temporary track was taken up and the permanent way installed.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vía_férrea
Se denomina vía férrea a la parte de la infraestructura ferroviaria formada por el conjunto de elementos que conforman el sitio por el cual se desplazan los trenes. Las vías férreas son el elemento esencial de la infraestructura ferroviaria y constan, básicamente, de rieles apoyados sobre traviesas que se disponen dentro de una capa de balasto. Para su construcción es necesario realizar movimiento de suelos y obras existentes (puentes, alcantarillas, muros de contención, drenajes, etc.).

rutas fijas

Creo que se refiere a la resposabillidad sobre los recorridos o rutas fijas de los trenes, en contraposición a rutas que deben ser estacionales (verano, invierno, etc.) o contratadas puntualmente. No creo que se refiera a las vías físicas.
